Students Protest in Japanese Port
SASEBO, Japan Left-wing students and workers
by the thousands converged on this southern Japanese port
city yesterday to mount massive demonstrations against
the visit of the nuclear-powered U.S. aircraft carrier Enter
prise. Reinforced police made preparations to prevent a
bloody riot.
The Enterprise and the nuclear-powered frigate Trux
ton, bound for Vietnam duty, made their way toward Sase
bo but the time of their arrival was uncertain. Informed
soul ces said the Enterprise would visit Japan even though
it may be delayed a day or, two.
Some left-wingers hope to use the visit for demon
strations to whip up public support for their campaign
to end Japan's military ties to the United States.
Police, mindful of the bloodshed last November at
Tokyo Airport when the Zongakuren students tried to
block Prime Minister Eisaku Sate's departure for the
United States, were taking every possible precaution.
No Talks without U.S. Cease-fire, Says Hanoi
PARIS -- North Vietnam's representative in Paris de
clared yesterday that the United States must stop its bom
bardment without expectation of any reciprocity from
North Vietnam.
The representative, Mai Van 80, at the same time
repeated Hanoi's position that talks will start with the
United States after the bombings and other warlike acts
cease.
A radio-television reporter asked him in an inter
view: "The United States seems to demand from you a
gesture of reciprocity and asks that you do not take ad
vantage of the suspension in bombardment if that occurs.
What do you think of this?"
He replied: "The United States attacked, without a
valid reason and without a declaration of war, the Demo
cratic Republic of Vietnam, an independent and sovereign
country. It was an intentional aggression and a defiance
of all men and all peoples.
"In consequence the United States must end its acts
of aggression without attaching any conditions whatsoever."

Romney Argues for Vietnam Neutralization
' CONCORD, N.H. Campaigning Gov. George Romney
said yesterday the United States should nudge South Viet
nam toward peace negotiations with the Communist Na
tional Liberation Front as a possible avenue to "sound
settlement" of the war.
"They can hold discussions and I'm all for their hold
ing discussions," the Michigan Republican said.
Romney roamed' New Hampshire hamlets seeking
votes in the nation's first presidential primary March .12,
arguing that his plan for internationally guaranteed neu
tralization of Vietnam and her neighbors is the most
likely path_to peace. -•- •
Elaborating on that proposal at a Concord news con
ference, Romney said the National Liberation Front, politi
cal arm of the Viet Cong gUerrillas, will have to be
"reckoned with in any settlement in Vietnam."
Romney received a non-committal reply from former
Vice President Richard M. Nixon to his proposal for a
series of New Hampshire campaign debates. An aide wired
Romney that Nixon will reserve comment on primary cam
paign matters until he announces his candidacy for presi
dent.
Columnists Ruled Liable in Dodd Case
WASHINGTON A federal district judge ruled yes
terday that two syndicated columnists are liable for
damages to Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn), for using docu
ments taken from his office.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff said, however, that his
ruling, against columnists Drew Pearson and Jack Ander
son, does not set the amount of damages due Dodd or say
that damages may be recovered., He said the matter of
damages would be settled at a later trial.
The decision came on a motion for summary judg
ment by, Dodd in his million-dollar damage suit 'against
the authors of the column "Washington Merry-Go-Round."
The columnist admitted making use of documents from
Dodd's office in a series of articles on the the senator's
finances and other dealings.
The Senate censured the senator June 2 on a charge
of using political funds to pay personal expenses.

The State
Sales Tax on Labor Discriminatory?
EMPORIUM, Pa. A former state legislator has been
refusing to collect the state sales tax on labor performed
at his auto repair garage on grounds it's discriminatory.
"Dentists and doctors don't have to charge the tax for
their labor," Erwin L. Murray told a newsman. "Neither do
lawyers or carpenters. Why should I? That's discrimina
tion."
Murray said regulations prepared by the state Revenue
Department specify that the sales tax must be charged for
labor performed by such business places as garages, service
stations and dry cleaning shops. But a lot of other busi
nesses, he said, aren't included.
"If a woman comes into my garage and has her car
inspected," Murray said, "there's a $4 labor charge and she
has to pay tax on that. Then she drives out and goes over
to a beauty parlor and gets her hair fixed up for $l5 and
there's no tax at all. That's not fair."
Murray indicated that his battle with the state sales
tax collectors might end up in the courts.

Westinghouse Stops Electric Car Production
PITTSBURGH Westinghouse Electric Corp. said
yesterday it has suspended manufacture of its Marke
teer I electric car because it failed to meet government
safety standards.
Westinghouse said production of the small, battery
powered vehicle, "would resume as soon as possible after
safety requirements for such vehicles have been published."
Production of the cars, which Westinghouse describes
as a limited purpose vehicle for shopping and neighbor
hood transportation, began in the late fall and was stopped
in mid-December. Westinghouse said it produced less than
100 vehicles.
A Westinghouse spokesman said the autos did not
meet safety requirements in the area of passenger pro
tection, and pointed out the firm currently does not have
facilities to do extensive crash-testing.
George W. Jernstedt, general manager of Westing
house's Transportation and Industrial Equipment Divis
ions, said that while the Marketeer "is not intended to
compete with highspeed autos, it nevertheless meets three
fourths of the safety standards 'required for passenger cars."
The car, powered by 12, six-volt lead acid batteries,
is capable of traveling about 50 miles at a top speed of
25 miles per hour on a single charge.

Kelly Receives Award,
Tells of Corps Work
By KITTY PHILBEIN
Collegian Staff Writer
Asking for love and service to the dis=
advantaged of America, Job Corps Director
William P. Kelly accepted the first annual
Distinguished Service to Youth Award from
the College of Human Development last
night.
The award, a plaque commending Kelly
for his "courageous, imaginative, and compe
tent leadership," was presented by Eliza
beth Gaumer, Human Development Student
Council president.
Preceding the presentation, Kelly ad
dressed, the convocation of the College, re
minding them that they, the students, are
"the architects of the new era . . . the next
generation of American leadership." This en
tails a responsibility, Kelly said, demanding
that we try to free those who are "unfree:
unfree from hunger, sickness; and ignorance."
"It requires that part of our character
and intellect that is the best and most human
in us," Kelly said, "and this strikes me as
being an ethic for our time."
"Commitment and Competence"
Welcoming the guests, Donald H. Ford,
Dean of the College of Human Development,
hailed Kelly as a "person who sets a fide
example in training young people to go out
with commitment 'and competence into the
world." • • - -
Guests of honor at - the convocation in
cluded 18 girls from the Job Corps center at
Drums, Pa. A representative of the group
presented Kelly with a citation, thanking
him for his part in their Corps training.
Unable to attend but sending telegrams
of regret and congratulations were Sen.
Joseph S. Clark and Sen. Hugh Scott; Con
gressmen Elmer Holland and Albert John
son; Bill Moyers, former special assistant to
President Johnson, and Sargent Shriver, Di
rector of the Office of Economic Opportunity.
Earlier yesterday, Kelly made the an
nouncement that what he most desires is to
be out of a job. "I would like to see the
Job Corps go out of business," Kelly told
local television and newspaper reporters at
a news conference.
Continuing, Kelly explained that the
educational system in this country ideally
should do what the Corps is doing now in its
stead, namely, correcting the "horrendous
waste of human - resources" involving dis
advantaged youth from 16 to 21 years of age.

College of Human Development, was Kelly's

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17, 1968
Students who deliberately dis
rupt University operations on mat
ters of principle are still entitled to
"full legal rights as students and
due process of law," Charles Lewis,
vice president for student affairs,
said yesterday.
Speaking in an interview, Lewis
said the judicial structure, and espe
cially its provisions for appeal, are
meant to insure fair treatment for
students. All students are entitled to
the same rights, he said.
Lewis discussed the speech on
demonstrators by Dr. Ernest Pollard,
professor of biophysics, before the
University Senate last week. In the
speech, Pollard recommended sus
pension of students disrupting the
University's operations by deliberate
actions based on principle.
Lewis said the speech did not
represent a new disciplinary policy
but dealt with a "new dimension in
demonstrations, deliberative in na
ture, demonstrations on principle."
assistant from 1964-67. Speaking for Kelly,
he evaluated the Corps' growth, saying , lhat
"three years ago, the Job Corps was con
sidered a dead horse in the War on Poverty;
now it has been made a model of what an
educational enterprise can look like."
Kelly outlined some basic facts and sta
tistics on the Corps and its operations. There
have been 108,000 young people in and out
of the program to this point, 7,800 of whom
have successfully been placed in jobs. The
gap between those placed and those jobless
was explained by the fact that 16 and 17
year-olds are limited by national labor laws.
Describing life as a Corpsman, Kelly
explained that it is a whole new environ
ment for these "kids that the rest of the
world has walked away from." The 123
centers across the nation are of three main
types: conservation work centers for young
men, and separate urban centers for men
and for women.
The main aims of the program are to up
grade the basic education of the youths, 40
per cent of whom are unable to read or write
upon arrival at a center, and to teach voca
tional skills enabling the youths to' get "on
the first rung of the ladder to success."
Corps in Steady State
Although Kelly described the Corps as
being "in a, steady _state,". with no, plans:for
more centers -than there are' currently, he
outlined 'some- futire''prOgrams - - under - the
Corps.
One involves the conversion of a conser
vation center-in either Montana or Wyoming
into a sort of halfway house for the dis
advantaged American Indians. The Indians
are too reservation-oriented to be 'able to
integrate into American life.
The converted center would at first be
solely for Indians, then gradually other peo
ple would be admitted, slowly adjusting the
Indians to the culture switch.
A center in Baltimore, Md., presently is
experimenting with permitting unwed moth
ers and their children to remain together,
rather than sending the children to welfare
societies. Kelly said the sociological and psy
chological implications of such a male
excluded environment . are being studied.
Regarding the Human Development
award he was receiving last night, Kelly
said it was important in that it indicated
the point had been reached when universi
ties such as Penn State recognized the Corps
and honored it for what it had done as a
group, rather than honoring only Kelly as
its director.
A Special Forces camp west
of Dak To has received heavy
enemy mortar fire the past two

He• said the University Senate was
"very wise in considering the speech
as forensic business_ and not _legis

"No Arbitrary Judgmerit"
"I am certain no one wants to
pass arbitary judgment on students.
I don't think suspension would be
automatic for offenders and I know
Dr. Pollard did not want this. He
wants due process for all students,"
Lewis said.
"The University makes policy
decisions through dialogue-discus
sion with the staff, deliberations in
the Senate, discussion with the stu
dents. Some demonstrators seek to
override decisions and to reject
them by preventing them from being
effected.
"To' use the freedoms that we
have, free expression for example,
to deprive others of their freedoms
is a terrible thing."

welcomes political action by stu

ganizations would participate in elec

forward to seeing the Young Demo
crats and the Young Republicans

year," he said.
Turning to admissions policy,
Lewis said the criteria of high school
achievement and college board
scores "works against the culturally
disadvantaged."
"Education is the key to upward
mobility, better economic standing.

Shafer Adirinistration Guards Secret
LSD Case Still Nebulous
PHILADELPHIA (!P) The identity
of six students reportedly blinded by the sun
while under the influende 'of the drug LSD
and the Pennsylvania college they attended
when, it happened 18 months ago, still was
a secret today.
Continued pressure from the adminis
tration of Gov. Raymond Shafer apparently
stalled immediate disclosure of the ,name of
the school involved—at least until a current
investigation of the incident is-completed.
State Sen. Benjaniin Donolow, a Phila
delphia Democrat, had promised to reveal
the 'college but later told a news conference
he was asked to remain. silent "until the
state checks out 'all the facts."
Donolow said he investigated the LSD
story and "determined it is true." However,
he has disputed the version that the six young
men, all college juniors, were totally and
permanently blinded.
"Two of the boys have some sight per
ception," he said.

There are very few books or maga

which would enable them to help

Lewis said the problem of find
ing a way for the culturally dis
advantaged to make their way to
higher learning is a special concern
of the land grant universities. He
said the University is participating
in several educational programs.
Head Start for example, which may
improve the situation.
The admissions policy, Lewis
explained, seeks to accommodate a
substantial portion of Pennsylvania's
college age population, about 12 per
cent. That percentage has not been
attained yet, but seems to be a rea
sonable goal, Lewis said.
He said the justification for ac
cepting out-of-state student for the
undergraduate prograrh was that
students from different areas "broad
ens the experience of students."
Donolow also said four of the students
changed their curriculum and were enrolled
in other colleges "in order to accommodate
their defect and two remain at the same
institution."
He acknowledged that the incident oc
curred, as originally claimed, in a college
in Western Pennsylvania. But he declined
to confirm or deny a published report that
it was Edinboro State College.
However, Edinboro's president, Dr. Ches
ter T. McNerney, said in a statement it
wasn't his school.
The governor's office at Harrisburg con
firmed again, despite Donolow's version, that
the six students were perManently •blinded
by staring, unblinking, at the sun while lying
in a meadow near the college.
Donolow said that the six, found by three
other students, all were sworn to secrecy
by the college. The state senator said the
stricken youths were treated by p:ivate doc
tors and never taken to a hospital.
